Being on ESPN 2 is awesome and shows how far the program has come under Kaspar.

Excited about the season. Still think they take a slight step back this year just on what they lost. KGT was really good and Bobby and Ojai were really quality leaders and were very good on the defensive side of things.

That being said, really like this year's group. Pearson should be an all-conference type player and have quality guys around him. King came on the second half of last year and need Terry to be a capable 12-15 minute backup at the 5. Season success probably comes down to how good the newcomers really are in Nottingham, Gurley and Adams. Need these guys to make an impact.

I'm pretty high on Pearson & King as contributors and on-court leadership. I don't think the drop off will be all that significant for this team, and for once we are entering a new season with some positive momentum to build upon. Success toward the end of the season has to be Kaspar's job that much easier since it has provided some proof of concept for the players to buy-in. In fact, I suspect we'll be BETTER than last season.

Who would've thought 10 years ago that basketball would be our most successful sport at this point in the Big 3 sports?

I'm excited for the 2017-2018 season. Agree we're losing some huge pieces in KGT, Black, and Conley. Newcomers gonna have to contribute immediately. I'll gladly take another freshman having a season like Pearson's freshman year last year.

I am very ready. I attend every home football game so seeing a competitive team will seem even better than usual. Hopefully this will become the norm for our program. College basketball can be a lot of fun, especially with a good team.
